[Matrox Mplayer] 2.6.10 kern. - /dev/mga_vid for xmga/mga

[Modano]

Hello all !
For my first post in english, I'd like to understand how can I manage to be able to run mplayer with mga/xmga video out drivers.
I have a G450 DH in Xinerama mode.
mplayer runs quite fine (one window only for xv drivers...and no fullscreen possible ).

For making the /dev/mga_vid it is required to compile mga_vid in the "drivers" path of the Mplayer sources, but no way : errors (known bugs with 2.6.x kernels.)
So after some searchs, I found : http://attila.kinali.ch/mga/ which has 2.6.10 mga_vid drivers....but there again :

Code: Select all

modano@squid mga-vid-2.6.10$ sudo make
make mga_vid.ko mga_vid_test
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/modano/mga-vid-2.6.10'
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS= modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r4'
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
make[3]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.

  MODPOST

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/modano/mga-vid-2.6.10'
make: *** [all] Error 2

...Where am I missing a point ? Is there a way to get mga/xmga drivers working ?
Is there a way to have a fullscreen on the dri-screen for mplayer ? (-xineramascreen stands for normal output, not fullscreen)

And by the way, with Xinerama, a way to avoid window-in-the-middle attacks ? (kde splashcreen/screensavers, some apps ?)

Thanks

No clues for the mga/xmga vo ?

By the way, I found Enlightenment more efficient with Xinerama, than KDE so that's a problem solved

Don't know what the deal is with that tarball, but mga_vid.ko should've been built just fine and a make install should install the module. Just got it working that way, hope this helps.
